Windows 10: AirPods Pro Sound Quality Bad When Using Microphone.

My AirPods Pro 2nd Generation sound good when I am using them normally. However, when I start using the microphone, the sound quality degrades significantly. For example, when I am playing a game and using the microphone to talk to others, the sound quality is bad but when I am playing alone without using the microphone, the audio is fine. Any solutions?

Airpods Pro: very bad quality in Headset mode on Windows 10

Dear all,

I've got my new Airpods Pro, they work well with my iPhone.
Also on Windows 10 via bluetooth, sound quality is good when using the "Airpods stereo" mode.

However, in the headset mode ("Airpods Hands-Free AG Audio") sound and especially microphone quality is extremely bad. I tried to change the default format (see screenshot, it's only 8000Hz), but I cannot change it as it's grey. Any advice to get a better
microphone quality?

 

AirPods Pro 2 Microphone Not Working on PC

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

It's possible that your AirPods Pro 2 are not being recognized as a headset because they are not properly set up to work as a microphone on your Windows 11 computer. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check the AirPods Pro 2 settings: Make sure that your AirPods Pro 2 are set up to work as a microphone on your Windows 11 computer. To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound > Input > Choose your input device and select your AirPods Pro 2.

Check the microphone settings: Go to Settings > System > Sound > Input > Device properties > Additional device properties. In the Microphone Properties window, go to the Levels tab and make sure that the microphone volume is turned up.

Update audio drivers: Go to Device Manager and check if there are any updates for your audio drivers. Right-click on the audio driver and select Update driver. Alternatively, you can visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest audio drivers for your Windows 11 computer.

Reset your AirPods Pro 2: Try resetting your AirPods Pro 2 by putting them in their case, pressing and holding the button on the back until the light flashes amber, and then repairing them with your Windows 11 computer.

If none of these steps work, you may want to contact Apple support or your computer manufacturer for further assistance.

 

Airpod sound extremely low on pc when microphone used

I've noticed recently after some windows update that my Airpods pro gen 2 generate extremely low sound, but only when I'm on Zoom/Skype where also my microphone is being used. If I switch the use of the microphone from Airpod to some other mic, the sound volume on Airpods becomes good again. When mic is not used, the volume is perfectly ok.

I'm using Windows 11 with the latest updates on Lenovo X1 Carbon with all updates installed.

Any suggestions how to fix this?
